Pandemmy occupies the ferocious overlap between thrash and death metal in the tradition of Kreator, Sepultura, and Hypocrisy, building a catalog across three full-lengths: "Reflections & Rebellions" (2013), "Rise of a New Strike" (2016), and "Subversive Need" (2020). The Recife quartet has shared stages with Exodus, Abbath, and Amon Amarth, and their decade-plus of work reflects a band constantly pushing the technical and aggressive ceiling of the genre.
Thrash and death metal band active from 2007 until their split in 2016, recorded under the Terranis Productions label and built their sound around themes of war, death, and apocalyptic destruction. Releases including "Hellish Warfare" and "Corrosive Warfare" placed them within the harder-hitting end of the Brazilian thrash underground.
Thrash/death metal band from Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, founded by guitarist Alejandro Ferrando, vocalist Adrián Flores, bassist Cristian Felici, and drummer Mario Gogniat. The band released the album Cancer of Corruption in 1995 as an independent cassette release, featuring eight tracks including 'World Without Mercy' and 'The Dark Side of Your Mind'. The band has since split up.
Founded in Guarulhos in 2001 as a solo project by Aron "Sodomic" Dick, Power from Hell started as a raw tribute to the first-wave black/thrash tradition of Bathory, Venom, and Hellhammer before progressively darkening into straight black metal. The band built a substantial discography over two decades—including "Sadismo" (2007), "Lust and Violence" (2011), and "Profound Evil Presence" (2019)—before signing to Debemur Morti Productions and releasing "Shadows Devouring Light" in 2022.
Psicocancer are a thrash/speed metal crossover band from Santa Fe, Argentina, whose five-person lineup includes vocalist Rama Daneri, guitarists Lauti Daneri and Guillermo Nudel, bassist Leo Bonzzi, and drummer Eric Daneri. The band released their debut album La Reconquista independently in 2017, delivering politically charged thrash influenced by early Anthrax and Agent Steel.
Punishment was a thrash/death metal band from Paraguaçu, Minas Gerais, formed in the late 1990s by brothers Elderson and Élson Prado alongside vocalist Camaroon. The band recorded the demo "Infernal World" in 2003 and followed it with the re-recorded "Enter the Punisher" in 2006, and shared festival stages with Korzus, Torture Squad, and Ratos de Porão at events including Roça'n Roll.
